ARIWA, HOME OF THE MAD PROFESSOR
DUBROOM WEBSITE REVIEW

WWW, June 2006 - When you open the website, it doesn't take long before you hear the first sounds. It's the result of a media player in the opening page of Mad Professor's official Website. And that media player enables you to play some truly nice material.

The Mad Professor, aka Neil Fraser, doesn't really need an introduction. He is one of the leading forces in the UK DUB scene and even more. Numerous Jamaican vocalists have entered the gates of Ariwa to voice over the specific Mad Professor riddims. And the Mad Professor himself has been travelling all over the world with his posse in order to forward the Reggae Vibe to literally the four corners of the earth.

On the website, there is a very interesting section of articles and news. Kind of unique, as in these articles you can be introduced to the interesting view of the Mad Professor. He's definitely not afraid to mention things which truly bother him: possible relations between certain musical styles and violence, for example. And we highly respect him for speaking out on matters which have been under the band of a political correct taboo much too long.

You will definitely spend quite some time after discovering Mad Professor's writings. Possibly, you might even forget for a minute or two, that he has released numerous albums and singles from his Ariwa studio. .

Fortunately, this is not forgotten by the webmaster of the website. The complete catalogue of Ariwa sounds is presented on-site. It's a very impressive list, where many Reggae Greats give acte d' presence: U Roy, Yabby You, Michael Prohet, Horace Andy, Johnny Clarke, the list goes on and on and on. Many of the almost 200 albums come with sound clips, too.

Ariwa hasn't only released albums with known Jamaican vocalists, also their own group of artists is kind of impressive. Macka B, for example. And from all these artists, you can find some nice biographies as well.

The artists are important. But for the hard core Mad Professor fan, his working place is equally important. The site therefore contains some interesting pages about Ariwa's two different studio's as well.

Another nice part of the Ariwa website is the impressive photo album. The pictures show, what words cannot describe. They surely will make you want to experience a Mad Professor concert in an area near you.

A visit to Mad Professor's website will not dissapoint you. Defenitiely not. The site is truly packed with Sights And Sounds!
